Soundsmith Strain Gauge - Thank You!


Someone tipped me off to a Strain Gauge for sale. It was a few weeks ago and I've lost track of who, it should be there in my PMs and emails but nada. So anyway I got it, and it is not here yet but I have you to thank- whoever you are!😂 Sorry but I guess I get a lot more messages than I thought😁 Thanks for letting me know. Appreciate it.

I have read all the reviews I can find on it and they are generally positive. The only common negative comment I have seen is a tendency for it to be on the bright side. But that is easy to deal with from a DSP perspective. I intend on auditioning one at Soundsmith before I go for another moving coil cartridge. My daughter lives in NYC. Coming from New England we can stop by Soundsmith on the way down next time we visit. It is certainly an intriguing cartridge. I did have a Win Labs cartridge back in the late 70's. It was awful. It could not track. Panasonic also made one that did not go very far.
I currently have The Voice which I am quite happy with. So I know Soundsmith makes good product.  At this moment it will be either a strain gage or a Channel D Lino C with an Ortofon Verisimo
